Philadelphia, Dec. 15.—A nation
wide campaign to keep federal em
ployees out of politics is suggested In
the report of the National UTvil Serv
ice League, which began its annual
conventon here today. The report
says in part.
“We kre about to enter upon, tba,
year of presidential nomination and
election. The federal postmasters,
collectors, etc., the kind of officials
that formed po large a part of Ue
delegations to the republican presiden
tial convention of 1908 anji whose ac
tivities practically ^controlled the bal
ance of the delegates from the sou* fl
ora states, ar.e none of .them under
civil service rules and the presen ••
executive order regarding excessive
political activity is of small practical
value in restraining aueh officers from
undue political activity. We propose
to have an investigation In the activfr
ty of federal officeholders during the
coming campaign.’’
Discussed By Foreign
Ministers
St 1 . Petersburg, Dec. 14.—An Inter
view with Foreign Minister' SazouoT
in regard to the claims of the United
Stales for recognition by Russia of
passports Issued to American citizens
of the Jewish faith is published today
in the Novoe Vremya.
AT he foreign minister said that tbo
matter did not dlfectly concern th«
Russian foreign ' office. Neither fuo
Russian ministry of the interior mr
the Russian consuls had raised any
obstacles against the extry into Rus
sia of American commercial men or
financiers of the Jewish faith. Tho
present agitation, however, he said,
did not relate to that class of persons.
Many agistors, revolutloftffiTes and
anarchists who were adherents of
the Hebrew religion haJ emigrated to
America during the recent- troubles
and It was not, concluded M. Sazono.'f,
to be expected that itudsla should en
courage the return of these elemeita.
